Nutrition - Poor Appetite / Calorie Counts

By Dr. Brown

Often, parents get concerned and wonder if their child is getting enough food and the appropriate balance. These are some of the most common questions we get in the office. Fortunately, somehow mother nature seems to provide well, and over the long term, children seem to get what they need. This seems to happen - when children are provided/offered the appropriate foods. There have been many studies that have shown that for almost all children, if you leave them alone (but expose them to proper foods) mother nature takes care of them - amazing!

Below are links to forms that you can download and fill out to see if your child is getting what he or she should get. Complete the food log and see for yourself, or you can make an appointment with one of our providers to discuss your child's food intake.
